Ranting is beneficial to your health. If you don't rant at least once a month, your mental garbage will quickly turn from a trash can to a garbage truck. And so for your own sake and others, Rant!!!

I'm not new to ranting but it's been a while since I last posted my last rant. Sometimes I have so much to rant about, and other times it feels like I'm going on and on about the same stuff that I have said a million times before. Perhaps this is what happens when you go through the same mundane and exhausting situation on a regular basis. I am complaining about my goddamn life.

When I left my job a few months back, I was thinking about my mental health and many other ways I could keep myself busy while earning some money on the side. I made some plans that were still in the first stage but I had hope. But my life somersaulted - not one, but it feels like every day my life looks back at me with that evil villainous grin and says "Time for my daily somersault girlie!!! Look how marvelously I somersault towards a cliff. Shall I do just one or perhaps 10? Let's go for 5." Even though I have ranted and complained about my life before, at least I had some breathing room. Nowadays, everything in my life is upside down - life can be so acrobatic.

After surgeries, I thought I'd recover a little and give my plans a better form but life had other plans for me. I remember the saying If you want to make God laugh, tell Him about your plans. I don't complain about what He's doing, but I can scold my life for not going the same way I want it to. What's the point of all the plans if I can't even start with them? I wonder if life will get offended if it went on with my plans for once - as if life is a living being that can think on its own. Many of you are also facing sticky situations that life puts you in I believe and I'm not alone. I shouldn't take comfort in that but when I think for a second and I see that even though I'm alone in my boat, there are plenty of other people in other boats in the same sea it's endurable.

Do you get tired of complaining about life? I do. Most of the time I get tired of ranting about the same shit that doesn't really change form in months and I ran out of words. If that wasn't enough, my day-to-day life is so messy that I have no time to think about mental health. I barely realize when the sun comes up or another day just passed. Life is passing me by and I'm not even looking. At times the thought comes to mind that I should stop complaining and take charge because this stuff has been said too many times, but has it? It feels like I blinked and a month has gone by.

Did my life turn into a TARDIS? Where is Doctor Who?

Well, Life has always been that, a fucking mess. But I am happy for you Medusa, at least you can write about it, I have lost that power.

you still have the power... you just lack the energy and the enthusiasm to do that... probably because you have stored all of that energy and enthusiasm stacked on a shelf and it's now covered in a pile of dust... start dusting

Complaining is sometimes necessary, it kinda pushes you to find a way out. I hope everything gets better soon!

you're absolutely right... often you find your solution amid your ranting... but sometimes you just need to be patient and let the storm pass

It’s definitely an important thing to be able to rant and let off some steam! I’m really glad that I’m able to fill a role for so many people here on hive! I didn’t think this community would get as popular as it has but it’s been such a rewarding experience for me. I’m glad you get to let loose a bit!

Leaving a job is hard for sure but if you have the strength to leave it, kudos to you. A lot of people stay in jobs they hate because they simply have no strength to leave it and look for something else. I’m hoping that you can find a new job soon and that it will be better than the last one!

It's thanks to you that so many of us are able to share our struggles whether it's small or big... ranting allows us to clear out our thoughts and helps us focus on what we should be doing... It took a long time to realize how stressful and unsuitable that job was for me... even then when I realized that, it took me some more time coz money was an issue... it's true that "man sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health."
